no tips yet for me but this observation is just an observation and based on nothing but feel. it feels/appears to me that john senden more often than not seems to get to around 19's in a major tourney as he is always around the top ten mark with a round to go without ever winning...

From all the player interviews so far, the overwhelming sentiment seems to be that the rough is ridiculous, and unplayable once you're in it.
Which suggests that driving accuracy is going to be key to winning this year. Had a look at the stats for both US and European tours. On the Europeans tour stats, the best placed of the Open entrants are Ramsey (500), Morrison (590) & Dyson (130) down around 15th-18th places and c.70% accuracy. Can't see any of them prevailing, so we turn to the US stats. 2nd = McDowell (36) 3rd = Curtis (130) 5th = Clark (230) 6th = Furyk (55) 7th = Huh (440) 9th = Wilson (620) Of that lot, McDowell and Furyk stand out as classy all rounders who have the game and the mental ability to go all the way. That's where my small bets are going. |

there was plenty of rough in 1979 but seve was wild enough to miss most of it
“That the winner, Severiano Ballesteros, chose not to use the course but preferred his own, which mainly consisted of hay fields, car parks, grandstands, dropping zones and even ladies’ clothing, was his affair.  |

Could see people using irons off the tee? Or course not really setup for that?

Does anyone know the early weather predictions? More rain than wind probably. Hopefully no draw bias, it can make it such a lottery. Backed Clarke pre Saturday lasy yr, when obvious he again going to get the best of the weather, whereas maybe the moral winners, Phil or Ricky endured nightmare conditions first 3 days. Level playing field would be nice. Doubt it tho!!
|

By:
the late starters might get the advantage of early starters hacking the rough down
weather looks , at early stage, to be showers all week with light winds getting stronger as the week goes on, |
|
By:
Just had a look there, suggests at moment that Friday afternoon seems the most pleasant, with least chance of rain, but very little variance in any wind. Bookies prices starting to fall in line with odds on here...let the price war begin!

what site are the tee times from Donny? Official site?

By:
Laid Rose and Sergio now, easy money
 |
|
By:
yep theopen.com
|
|
By:
I'd be careful with Sergio heck of a consistent record in the Open (6 top 10 tens I think).
|
|
By:
he doesnt seem to enjoy playing with tiger, not happy myself as i'm on rose
|
|
By:
Maybe he got a decent record with Tiger for thursday/friday but like most guys he's been horrible with Tiger over weekends...
Chad Champbell to post a score Thursday morning on at 470 |

Been on the course this morning, rough isn't as brutal as what has been made out, but it is soaking wet, meaning it is super brutal(turning the club over etc) seen my antepost bet Thomas Bjorn on course looking like he had backed a 1.01 poke and lost..getting bad vibes already
 Advice to anyone going sat or sunday, good footwear needed, it could be like glastonbury. |

Loving this, the weather means its back the long shots avoid the short prices. As mentioned already Na, Ramsey, Reavie, Khan, Finch all good value, but there is one stand out long shot in my book........
Alejandro Canizares, he only ever turns up for the open, played very well at the French and Scottish in preporation, has figured in the open before, and the most important stat is he is accurate. |
|
By:
Driving accuracy is going to be important, but I also think you want someone long, who is capable of hitting accurate woods and irons off the tee to the widest parts of the fairway. If its wet its going to play long, so I want players capable of peppering flags with long irons. Westwood is perfect for this imo, as is Tiger, but im going with some biigger prices.
Oosthuizen 45/1 Dustin 50/1 Colsaerts 80/1 Bradley 110/1 Grace 125/1 Also going to do Allenby win and top 5 on here for a trade. |
|
By:
Dustin Johnson 60/1
John Huh 550/1 Kyle Stanley 380/1 Joost Luiten 600/1 |
|
By:
Jiminez 230
C.Campbell 470 Kaymer 50 B.Watson 85 Stricker 75 Leonard 790 |
|
By:
with you on Huh and Luiten. Huh has amazing stats for this and is a huge price.
|
|
By:
another I really like is Havret, very accurate, his close finish in the US open a few years ago will give him great experience, but most important is the price 580s just love it.
|
|
By:
yeah with the weather thats due, this really is anyones to win, even more reason to be backing players at 200/1 or more.. obviously some our better value than others..
the worst price on here is Darren Clarke, his true odds of winning must be 1000/1? and he's 200's or something.. |

my team this week
dufner- current form too hard to turn him down at 40s furyk- feel he has a big tourno in him and with his driving accuarcy i feel he has good chance mcdowell- playing well of late, also good driving accuracy stats, and im irish rose- just have a feeling byrd- current form excites me and at 150/1 cant go wrong molinari- playing great golf got him at 66 with pp 7 places so confident what you guys think of ted potter? at 400 on pp? think he has a shot? and what you think of my pick this week? |
|
By:
Many backed/laid/traded
Those over 500 whom i think are excellent value, all backed, what do you lot think ? Gregory Havret Kyung-Tae Kim Chez Reavie Alejandro Canizares |
|
By:
John Senden @ 340 ( now 200 ). Doesn't win too many,but always seems to be in contention.
|
|
By:
